Description skierpage 2024-12-05 08:28:27 UTC
Description:
Some options described in https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/shared/01/01130000.html only appear if you set the Print > General > Page Layout > Pages per Sheet to Custom. But it's unclear which options they are. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Choose File > Print and in the General tab scroll down to Page Layout
2. Expand Pages per Sheet
3. Read the online help at https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/shared/01/01130000.html

Actual Results:
The help says "When the number of pages is set to Custom, then the following settings shows:" but there's no distinction between the settings just for Custom and the rest of the Page Layout settings.

Expected Results:
The settings that display when you choose Custom should be distinct from the following options. They could appear in a box or indented, or there could be a "Note: the Pages, By, Margin, and Distance settings only appear when the number of pages is set to Custom."


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
"the following settings appear" is better English. And the descriptions of Margin and Distance in the help seem switched.
